CAPE OF STYLE
They’ve been here since forever, worn by every decade’s fashion sweethearts, from Hollywood A-Listers to style legends whose unique way of dressing will forever inspire the Fashion Industry. What am I talking about? –This season’s most coveted outerwear piece, whose versatility transforms it into a precious gem for every cold weather-ready wardrobe, THE CAPE. Just like LBDs or ice cream, this is something you can never have too much of – a casual Sunday brunch would style up in no time with a wool-blend cape and a pair of knee-length camel boots, while that silk gown you’re saving for next week’s glamorous party would look so much better teamed with a white-hued embroidered cape, and the list can go on and on, as this season’s designs are set to conquer our wardrobes, overshadowing all the other outerwear options hanging in our closets. Excited with what the stores currently have to offer, I gathered together all the capes that caught my eye, dividing them into two sections, one perfect for day, the other perfectly suited for a glamorous evening. I posted them down below, secretly hoping one or two will upgrade from the “wish list” to “add to basket” this season.
